greetings all, i just noticed that my Fischerii slightly broke a little part of one of his horns and it seems a bit red, what would be the best procedure there? thanks in advance

Clean the raw surface with Betadyne scrub and then apply an antibiotic such as Polysporin or triple antibiotic to prevent infection. The scab will look black, but as long as the rest of the horn doesn't turn color it should heal. It may not re-grow, but hard to say.
